Your questions answered!
Why am I keeping a portfolio?
One of the four requirements in order to earn a high school diploma
Draw a connection between the student’s high school education and the real world
Present to a group of community membersOther students, parents, members of
the larger community
There is a tab in my portfolio reads “Quality Work”
Will be given one particular assignment which is identified as a “Quality Work”
Rubric was developed to assure that all students would be graded on the same criteria
Each you must submit at least four pieces of work to your portfolioRequired to have a minimum of four
There is a tab in my portfolio reads “Quality Work”
By the time you graduate you must have at least one QW from:
1. English or Social Studies Class
2. Math, Science or Technology Class
3. Fine Arts, Occupational Education, PE, or World Language Class
4. Any course of your choosing If you do not have four quality works to
submit each year, you must have at least one QW and three Best Efforts
Tell me more about this Best Effort section!
If you have not met the “four yearly assignment” requirement in the QW section
One of which you are proud and is of significant enough importance to be added to the portfolio
Write a brief reflection about why you feel that this is your Best Effort
What goes in the tab labeled “Future Goals, etc…”
Each year you will complete a “Career Planning Checklist”
Each year, when you complete the form it should be put in your portfolio
Also where you will keep your completed notes form College and Career Fair, write-ups of any job shadows or internships

Copy of your latest transcript Put evidence of other classes you
have taken outside of schoolVocational training program, Dances,
Acting, Karate, Religious education, CPR training, Food Service handlers licenses

Put all of the stuff that you are proud of
This is also the place where you can put class work which is neither QW or BE
What if I don’t have any of this stuff?
Start getting involved in some activities
Write a reflection about the things that you have done that have given you a sense of accomplishment
Reflection should be put in the portfolio
“Leadership and Work Experience”
Growing list of activities in which you have taken a leadership position and jobs that you have held
Good to get letters of recommendations from employers and statements of support from the adult leaders of organizations

All about service You will document the ways in which
you have made this a better school, a better community, a better world
